The year has started full-steam, so I hit the ground running. Lots of projects to juggle, plenty of excitement in the air around all the various things going on. So let’s keep this one short and pithy!
### In self-directed stuff…
– [ThingsCon](http://thingscon.com): The first satellite for 2016 is going to take place in Brussels thanks to our friends and collaborators: Dries De Roeck and Rob van Kranenburg are going to host ThingsCon Brussels, themed “[Blockchain, IoT & People](http://www.meetup.com/Internet-of-Things-Ghent/events/226992705/)”, on Feb 29.
– [The Good Home](http://thegoodhome.org) is picking up steam as we kicked off a collaboration with BBC Homelab at a London workshop. As we’re prepping for exhibiting at Fuori Salone in Milan, we’re already looking for future hosts for The Good Home.
– [Dearsouvenir](http://dearsouvenir.com): We’re kicking into gear with the planning and production for issue #2, and also setting up a separate company to run this more independently going forward.
– [Interaction 16](http://interaction16.ixda.org) keynotes number five and six have just been announced, and boy am I looking forward to seeing [Tricia Wang](https://twitter.com/triciawang) and [Cameron Sinclair](https://twitter.com/casinclair) in Helsinki in a few weeks. Also, the [schedule is sorted out and published](https://interaction16.sched.org/) (still will be polished a bit, but the info is all there). Come to Helsinki!
### In client work…
All projects ongoing and coming along nicely, but not much to share publicly at the moment except that [Bosch ConnectedExperience](http://bosch-si.com/experience) is getting ready with a top notch [speaker line-up](https://www.bosch-si.com/lp/experience/bcx-agenda/agenda.html) from the world of IoT, hardware, design. Participation is free, but requires registration. It’s March 8/9 in Berlin.
That’s the short version for this month. Have a great February!
